The new owners of Rusty Hooks Dockside Grill are excited to open our doors to the public. The restaurant located in the South Harbour Village Marina overlooks the Intracoastal Waterway. We encourage our guests to kick back, enjoy the view, and hit the pau

This is the restaurant formerly known as the Dead End Saloon, located at the marina at the end of Fish Factory Road, with a view of the intercoastal waterway. Having frequented the previous establishment, we are pleased that the restaurant has been reopened for several months under new ownership with a new name. A number of changes have been made: a new entry heading directly into the dining area, rather than through the bar. The walls of the dining area have been decorated more tastefully and it is quieter with the doors shut to the bar. Dinner conversations are easier now. The food is similar, though the prices are a bit higher. Fish and Chips, Crab Cakes, mussels are our favorite choices.Thank you, Fred! We are glad you enjoy the changes and look forward to seeing you during your next visit. You really can't go wrong with any of those choices. My favorite is the blackened Mahi tacos - give them a try, and let me know what you think.

Great burger just how I like it grilled! We just returned from Alberta Canada where by law they cook their burgers well, better known as a hockey puck! Blue Cow Grilleâs was juicy and delicious. Friendly attentive service.

This is a fun and inexpensive place to have a drink and a bite of "bar food". The service was great and the food was tasty. Our only criticism is that my wife's mixed drink was almost flavorless. Probably stale juice or something like that. It's a bar, the drinks should all be good.

It wasn't very busy the night we were there so our service was quick and good. We enjoyed the warm artichoke/olive appetizer. My husband enjoyed the jambalaya although it had a kick, and the fish special. They also had half priced wine bottles the night we were there.

Restaurant Style: Irish/American pub food and full barLast Visit: March 8, 2019Ambiance: Best time for an Irish pub visit has to be close to St. Patrickâs Day. The nice dark wood and tables looping the U-shape bar fulfill the pubby expectation but this is a Carolina Beach bar so there is outside seating on three sides. Probably the outside seating would offer more comfortable options for families with children. Service: Bar or dining options, we were met with grace and cheeriness. Even when we dumped a glass of ice water all over the table and floor, the staff evinced the most concern for our dry clothes and the absence of broken glass shards. Eaters not drinkers, we concentrated on the fish and chips and sinful chocolate cake. Both made a big hit. Other less common options include Bangers and Mash (takes me back to London), Shepherdâs Pie, and the local Brunswick Stew (after all, Brunswick is only a county away). Although the full bar offers lots of options, Iâm a sucker for the lucious Guinness on tap. Although I would call the bill of fare mostly bar grub, it arrives well-prepared with as much care as their good beers. Worth a trip to the beach.For Kids: Kids cheese qusedilla, chicken tenders, 6 oz.burger, fish and fries or grilled cheese with cheddar fries. Difference Dividend: Lots of live entertainment on the calendar ahead here. Call ahead for the options. On the food side, try fried Mac and cheese balls.Expense Account: Figure about $15 each without alcohol.Adult Beverages: Full bar.I love your details and how you provide some great information in your review!Thanks so much for your review â we appreciate it!

I can't say enough good things about this place! The oysters were great and fresh. We did an array of appetizers and oysters. Lobster rangoons are made fresh daily! The service was top notch as well! Brody was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He is a total asset to this restaurant! Ally and Ryan were also very pleasant and accommodating. We made it a point to visit Moore Street Oyster Bar twice in our week in the Carolina's because it's just that great!!! We will be back!

American Fish is the coolest bar with the best bartenders in the US of A. Reasonably-priced drinks, INCREDIBLE views and beautiful people all while sitting ON THE WATER in NC's best waterfront hamlet. This was not my first time there and will definitely not be my last. Go There, Now! You won't regret it. I promise.
